There are some goofs in this year’s lineup of MMVA-nominated artists and we love it! While their songs may not be particularly comedic, several MMVA nominated musicians went the silly route for their videos and there are a lot of dorky outfits to show for it.

Below, we’ve rounded up the five funniest videos nominated for MMVAs this year. Take a look, then tune in to the MMVAs this Sunday, June 15 at 9E/6P on Much, CTV and CTV GO to see if they win.

1. Sonreal, Everywhere We Go
SonReal goes full Napoleon Dynamite in this video for “Everywhere We Go,” which snagged MMVA nominations for Video of the Year and Hip Hop Video of the Year, among others. For his goofy parody, the rapper wears a bowl-cut wig, braces, and a turtleneck with a denim vest. So he basically looks like a 1980s mom.

2. Hedley, Anything
Hedley’s “Anything” video opens with a self-consciously “pretentious” monologue, and devolves into greasy, tattoed, naked debauchery. There’s a dude taking a bath in Froot Loops. And a dude taking a bite out of a Barbie doll. This looks like the sort of party Miley Cyrus couldn’t/wouldn’t be able to stop hanging out at.

4. D-Sisive, Friend of Mine
D-Sisive gets a Mini Me in the video for “Friend of Mine,” which features his cute kid doppelganger (in glasses, of course) lip-synching the whole song. The little munchkin even has a fake sleeve to make him look more like the rapper himself.

5. Classified ft. B.o.B., Higher
Classified’s video for Higher pays homage to John Hughes’ teen sci-fi classic Weird Science, which is apparently getting a full-blown remake sometime in the near-ish future. In this version, however, there’s more weed. A lot more.

Tegan and Sara
Before they were writing jingles for Oreos and becoming one of the biggest pop duos of all time, twin sisters Tegan and Sara Quinn were 20-year-olds who used their high school music room to record a demo that got them signed to Neil Young’s label.

Arcade Fire
Sure, Arcade Fire now fill their days winning Grammys, rocking sold out stadiums and writing scores for Spike Jonze, but back in 2005, Arcade Fire spent a week writing their debut album Funeral, which has since been rated 151 in Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Classified
Before he was winning MMVAs for Video of the Year, working with international artists like B.o.B. and Olly Murs, and having his songs featured on shows like Greys Anatomy, Classified was making a name for himself as the hardest working rapper in Canada, releasing 15 albums between 1995-2013. Phew. I need to lay down.

Avril Lavigne
With over 30 million albums sold worldwide, she may be the mother-you know-princess now, but back in 2002, Avril Lavigne was a 17-year-old from Napanee, ON, who had a penchant for men’s ties and Dickies pants. And no belts. But that’s a different MMVA story.

Down With Webster
It’s hard to remember when it wasn’t Down With Webster’s time to win, but back in the mid 2000s, DWW were a bunch of friends who decided to start a band after performing at their Toronto school’s talent show.
